Categories     Spinach

Time 1h20m

Yield 6 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 (10 ounce) packages frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
2 cups crumbled feta cheese (about 12 oz.)
3/4 cup roughly chopped of fresh mint
1/2 cup roughly chopped sun-dried tomato (oil-packed and drained)
1/2 cup pitted and roughly chopped kalamata olive
4 large eggs, lightly beaten
3 tablespoons chopped garlic
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon finely grated lemon zest
3/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 (1 lb) package phyllo dough, thawed according to package directions (preferably a twin-pack)
1/2 lb melted unsalted butter, plus more as needed for baking

Steps:

  • Position racks in the top and bottom thirds of the oven and heat the oven to 375°F In a large bowl, combine the spinach, feta, mint, sun-dried tomatoes, olives, eggs, garlic, lemon juice and zest, pepper, and salt. Mix well.
  • Unroll the phyllo and lay it flat on a clean, dry surface. Cover completely with plastic wrap. Working with one sheet of phyllo at a time, and keeping the rest covered with the plastic wrap to keep it from drying out, place a sheet vertically in front of you. Brush the phyllo with butter and cover with another sheet. Butter the top sheet and cut the phyllo lengthwise into equal 3-inch-wide strips. Spoon 2 teaspoons of filling on the lower end of each strip as shown in the left photo below. Fold up the phyllo strips as you would a flag to create a neat triangle, being careful not to roll too tightly or the triangles will crack when baked. Transfer to a baking sheet and cover with plastic. Repeat with the rest of the phyllo and filling until you run out of filling.
  • Butter two sheet pans. Arrange the phyllo triangles on the prepared baking sheets in a single layer. Brush the tops of the triangles with melted butter and bake until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes, switching the positions of the pans halfway through baking.
  • Make Ahead Tips. Assembled, unbaked phyllo triangles can be frozen for up to a month. Freeze the triangles on the baking sheet. When frozen, transfer them to an airtight container, setting parchment or plastic wrap between layers if needed, and return to the freezer. Bake as directed above (do not thaw the triangles first); baking time will be 20 to 25 minutes.

QUICK & EASY SPINACH AND FETA PHYLLO PIE



Quick & Easy Spinach and Feta Phyllo Pie image

I got this recipe in my email yesterday and made it immediately. We had it for dinner, but it would be wonderful for brunch. Although the original recipe did not call for reduced fat dairy products, using them makes this a nice and healthy dish. I used nonfat cottage cheese and full fat feta. The recipe is from Crisco. Cook time does not include standing time - the recipe suggests allowing it to stand 15 minutes before cutting, but mine was plenty firm after just five.

1/2 cup finely chopped onions
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 pkg. (5 oz. each) baby spinach leaves, divided

Tips:

  • Prep the phyllo dough properly: Thaw the phyllo dough according to the package instructions, and keep it covered with a damp towel to prevent it from drying out.
  • Use fresh spinach: Fresh spinach will give the rolls a vibrant green color and a slightly bitter flavor. If you're using frozen spinach, thaw it completely and squeeze out any excess moisture before using.
  • Don't overfill the rolls: Overfilling the rolls will make them difficult to fold and seal, and they may burst open during baking.
  • Brush the rolls with melted butter: Brushing the rolls with melted butter before baking will help them brown and give them a crispy texture.
  • Serve the rolls warm: Spinach feta phyllo rolls are best served warm, when the cheese is melted and gooey and the phyllo dough is crispy.

Conclusion:

Spinach feta phyllo rolls are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. They're perfect for parties or potlucks, and they can also be served as a main course with a side salad. With their combination of spinach, feta cheese, and crispy phyllo dough, these rolls are sure to be a hit.
